With only a few days to go until the season begins, we can confirm our full fixture list for the 2024/25 NWCFL Premier Division season. The first month’s fixtures were published at the start of July, which sees us travel to Squires Gate on Saturday (27th July), before Padiham away on the following Tuesday (30th). August sees us take on Irlam (h) for the first time on our new 3G surface (subject to any FA Cup replays), before a trip to newly-promoted Abbey Hey (a), and then welcome AFC

One of the stars of the season has without a doubt been Darius Palma. He’s arguably been our top performer so far.   Unfortunately, the shoulder injury he sustained first at Wythenshawe Town, and then more seriously at Padiham requires surgery. Paying for this privately should see him back by January, but it’s unlikely we will see him back this season without private medical care.   The cost of the surgery is £8,000, which is way beyond the entire season’s medical care budget f

All season tickets purchased after that date will be digital ONLY.   These can be picked up at the Gigg Lane Ticket Office on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday this week from 10am until 12pm. Next Saturday a

The frost has beaten us this weekend and Longridge have advised us that the game is to be postponed. Assuming Ramsbottom’s cup game is postponed (they expect it to be but the ref needs to confirm this) our fixture against them on 9th December will be re-arranged. It does leave this date free for both us and Longridge Town, so we are expecting to play tomorrow’s fixture on that date. This is subject to league approval and more details will follow.

Following a review of the pitch at Park Road ahead of tomorrow’s planned fixture against Cheadle Town, the surface has been declared unfit and the game has been postponed. The weather has beaten the efforts of the Park Road ground staff, with frozen pitch affecting attempts to prepare the surface for this weekend. A new date will be confirmed in due course, and purchased tickets will be refunded via Cheadle Town shortly.   Next Up: Ramsbottom United With us all thirs

We can confirm tomorrow’s NWCFL fixture with FC Isle of Man has been postponed.   The pitch at Gigg Lane remains frozen after another night of sub-zero temperatures.   As noted in our statement last night, an early decision had to be made for this fixture to be considerate to FC Isle of Man’s travel plans for its players, staff and supporters.   A new date will be announced in due course. Match tickets will remain valid for rearranged fixture. View the full article

Tonight’s game at Gigg Lane against Pilkington has been called off as the pitch is waterlogged. Persistent spells of rain throughout the day have put paid to the game, with the ground staff facing a battle to manage the amount of rain, on top of an already saturated playing surface, which left standing water in many areas. Tickets will be held over to the re-arranged game and we will be in touch once we know when that is. View the full article
